IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns or other injury or
damage, follow these instructions carefully. When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not immerse main body
or electrical parts in water or other
liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near
children.

4. Unplug appliance from outlet when

not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

Keep fingers, hair, clothing, as well
as spatulas and other utensils away
during operation.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, after
appliance malfunctions, or if the
unit has been damaged in any
manner. Call Customer Service (see
warranty) to return for
examination, repair of electrical or
mechanical adjustment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

7. The use of accessory attachments

not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire,
electric shock or personal injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.

10. Keep fingers, utensils, and other

foreign objects out of the FREEZER
CANISTER while in use to reduce
the risk of injury to persons or to
the appliance itself. DO NOT USE
SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS
INSIDE THE FREEZER CANISTER.
Sharp objects will scratch and
damage the inside of the FREEZER

Before You Use Your Ice Cream Maker

Before using your Ice Cream Maker for the first time, remove all packaging
materials and literature from inside the ice cream maker. Wash the cover, paddle,
lid, cap, and freezer canister in warm soapy water. CAUTION: Do not clean with

abrasive cleaners or hard implements and do not immerse motor base in water.

Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Wipe motor base with damp cloth.

How to Freeze the Freezer Canister

The most important step in making frozen desserts is to make sure the freezer
canister is properly frozen. Your ice cream maker features a double insulated
canister and requires thorough freezing. For best results, the canister should be
wrapped in a plastic bag and place upright in the back of your freezer, where the
temperature is the coldest. Wrapping your canister in a plastic bag will guard
against freezer burn. The length of time necessary to properly freeze the canister
depends on your freezer temperature.

As there is liquid in between the canister walls, shake the canister to check the
ideal freezing condition; you should not hear any liquid moving within the walls
of the frozen canister.

NOTE: Continually storing the freezer container in the freezer allows you the
flexibility to make your favorite frozen dessert at a moment’s notice.

How to Make Ice Cream

1. Follow recipes to make the ice cream mixture.

2. Remove the freezer canister from freezer and place on the motor base. The

freezer canister should be used immediately after removing from freezer (the
canister will begin to thaw once removed from freezer).

3. Place the paddle inside the freezer canister

4. Place the cover on the motor base.

5. Select the Low setting for firmer ice cream or the High setting for a softer

consistency. Both should take about 30-45 minutes to become frozen. For even
harder ice cream, allow the ice cream to retain in the freezer canister for 2-5
minutes or cover the freezer canister and put into your freezer for 15 minutes
before serving. Once Low is selected and the mixture has started to freeze, do
not switch to high. The faster speed is not able to spin the firm ice cream.

6. Pour the desert mixture through the hole in the center of the cover into the

freezer canister. Stop when mixture reaches the maximum fill line located on
the paddle (as the mixture will increase in volume during freezing process).
Ingredients (like chocolate chips, nuts, flavorings, fruit, etc.) can be added after
the freezing process has begun through the center hole in the cover.

7. Make sure to cover the center hole with the ingredient cap to keep ice cream

fresh and maintain its cool temperature.

8. Unplug unit before serving. Use only plastic or rubber utensils for serving.

Cover remaining dessert in freezer canister with the keep fresh lid to keep ice
cream fresh preventing the formation of ice crystals.

How to Clean Your Ice Cream Maker

Wash the cover, paddle, lid, cap and freezer canister in warm soapy water.

• Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or hard implements. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly.

• Do not immerse the motor base in water. Wipe motor base clean with a damp
sponge.

• Do not freeze when the freezer canister is still wet.

Helpful Hints

• Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least
one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and add volume.

• Uncooked recipes will yield the best results when an electric mixer is used to
cream the eggs and sugar. This helps to increase volume in the ice cream
mixture.

• Most ice cream recipes are a combination of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You
can use any type of cream you like, but the type of cream you use will affect the
flavor and texture. The higher percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream and
the softer the texture. For example, heavy cream has at least 36% fat, followed
by whipping cream (30%), coffee or light cream (18%) and half & half (10%).
Any combination can be used, but make sure the liquid measurement remains
the same. For example, lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk
than cream, or by eliminating cream altogether. Skim milk may be used, but
there will be a noticeable difference in texture.

• The ice cream mixture will stay fresh in the refrigerator for several days. Be sure
to shake well before adding to the canister.

• When pouring mixture into the canister stop when the mixture reaches the
maximum fill line located on the paddle (mixture will increase in volume
during the freezing process).

• Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. Use flavorings or extracts. If alcohol must
be added to a recipe, add when the mixture is semi-stiff.

• The flavor of a sorbet will depend greatly on the ripeness and sweetness of the
fruit and/or juice. If fruit is too tart, add sugar; if the fruit is very ripe, decrease
or omit the sugar. Freezing subdues sweetness, so the recipe will not be quite as
sweet when frozen.

• Artificial sweeteners can be used as a substitute for sugar. Heat affects the
sweetness of artificial sweetener. Only add artificial sweeteners to a mixture that
is cold or completely cooled. When a recipe calls for heating liquid to dilute
sugar, omit the heating process and simply stir the sweetener until well
dissolved.

1 packet of sweetener = 2 teaspoons (10ml) sugar
6 packets = 1⁄2 cup (60ml)
8 packets= 1⁄

3 cup (75ml)

12 packets=

1

⁄2 cup (125ml)

• The ice cream mixture should be liquid when preparation starts. Do no use stiff
mixtures (i.e. whipped cream, frozen liquids)

• When adding your own recipes, you should change all ingredients to the same
percentage.

• Do not operate the appliance longer than required. If after 40 minutes, the
mixture is not yet solid, or has thawed again, do not continue.

• Possible reasons for mixture not freezing:
– the freezer canister was not cold enough
– the mixture was too warm
– the proportion of ingredients was incorrect
